			            We now declare this relationship officially open!
  F is ready for me to move things into the physical with W--just making out, so far, but that's a great step.
  Excited and nervous! It means lots of renegotiation as well as fun.

			            Thanks, guys.
  Will keep you updated on how things go.
  Having a tough week (illness in F's family--so a tough year, really), so that gets in the way of things.
  That and there's always drama with W. Always! But we resolve it. That's life.

			            Well, everything's more or less in order.
  F and I will talk over opening the relationship fully in December. For the time being, I can date and kiss W as I please.
  W has (surprisingly to me!) not freaked out yet, so we got through the first week. To give you some context, W and I dated about four years ago--when I was rather young (18!)--he's about twice my age. This time around, regardless of when F says All Systems Go, W would like to actually date me for a bit before we wind up in bed.
  That's actually kind of nice. I've never done it that way before--I tend to fall into bed, then date.  razz 
  But it's a bit weird, because I used to sleep over at W's all the time, and now (because we can't keep our hands off one another) he's determined to hold off for a bit.
  I guess this indicates he's actually serious about making it work.

More people have hit on me in the last couple of weeks than in, well, years...   rofl  I have read this post a few times, trying to be sympathetic, but I keep laughing.

			            It's continuing to work out. I'd like to be in touch with W a little more often, but that's something to work out in that individual relationship.
  I've actually met someone in the last few weeks, which is a funny thing. No way am I ready to add a third lover at the moment, but it's nice knowing there's interest/that he's around.
  All these men! I wanted to meet a lady!  razz

			            It's all going so well. Both F & W are really happy, and the new relationship (or step up in the realtionship--whatever you want to call it) is finally going smoothly. Hooray!

			            Woah. Time to check in. Everything's been going beautifully for six months and should continue to.
  But a girl asked W out today. He did the right thing and called me first, just to flag it, and kept trying to call until he caught me. He let the girl know that he's in a relationship, but an open one. All procedures were followed. Haven't heard from her yet, and he's unsure if he'd like to date her but wouldn't mind knowing her better.
  So this is the first time that FIZZ gets to manage a partner-with-a-[potential]-partner. 
  Despite all reason and everything I *know*, I feel threatened and scared. I know I can get through that with his reassurance, but it feels icky.
